From people who came through it

  • โ€œWhen I was at my worst, notes like this made me angry. So I'll just say what happened to me: she accuses me of stealing her purse was my lowets point. A year later I'm ok. Far from perfect. Ok. You will be too, in your own time.โ€

  • โ€œHi, you. In 2022 I was exactly where you are. The care home waiting list. That was my life. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. The bad days get further apart.โ€

  • โ€œA note for the next person. I was where you are in 2022. Sundowning around five. That was my life. These days I mostly feel like me. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. One day at a time.โ€

    Phuc G. ยท been through caring for someone with dementia
  • โ€œPlease be gentle with yourself and I wasn't, and it made everything harder so get a second opinion if it doesn't feel right and I did and it changed my treatment and and talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ€
